Chapter 29: Could It Be Love?

It was a beautiful day outside as the sky was clear and the sun shone down. Gohan and Videl were at Mount Poauz, training. Stretching, Videl asked Gohan a question who didn't seem to have noticed. "Gohan?" Kneeling down next to him she put a hand on his shoulder. "Hey, Gohan are you okay?"

Slowly he brought his face up, a smirk plastered on his face. His eyes dark and cold. "Sorry, but Gohan's not here anymore." Gohan stood up as a look of terror and fear appeared on Videl's face as she started to back away slowly.

Then with a gasp, Gohan was awake. Breathing hard, and with a little of sweat on his brow, he looked at his surroundings to see that he was in his history class. He turned his head to see that Videl was fine. ~ It was just a dream. ~ Thought Gohan sighing. "You alright Gohan, you seem a bit dazed or something." Whispered Erasa. Gohan just nodded his head, trying to shake the fear he felt. Erasa took his word for it, but a young blue haired girl knew that he wasn't. She knew better.

A couple seconds later the bell rang.

About ten minutes later, outside the track during p.e., Videl caught up with Gohan. He smiled as she came up to him. "Hey Videl." As she opened her mouth to talk, Gohan spoke first, "I know that you want to know what happened in class that I woke up startled." "How did you know I was gonna ask that?" "I don't know, to tell you the truth. I just had a feeling."

"Videl, I'm really starting to worry about your safety." Started Gohan as they both walked. Videl turned to look at him, her full attention. "I had another dream, but unlike the others it wasn't the shadow figures, rather the both of us...I was training with you and you came to ask me a question, but it wasn't me that you were talking too anymore..." "It was your saiyan side right?" Asked Videl quietly. He nodded, looking down to the ground.

Breaking the silence, Videl spoke, "Well, you don't have to worry Gohan." Placing a hand on his shoulder she continued, "It's like I've said before, I know your strong enough to stay in control and if anything does happen you know that you have me and all your friends with you. And if you do lose control I'll make sure to knock the sense back into you." Said Videl trying to cheer him up. He turned to her and smiled. "You're right." He said as he looked into her deep blue sapphire eyes.

On the other side of the track, another young halfbreed had been listening in on what had been said.

The next day it was now lunch time at the school.

"Okay, Videl come clean with me. Is there really nothing going on with you and Gohan?" Asked Erasa, taking the opportunity to ask seeing as though Sharpener and Gohan had yet to arrive. Videl tried not to blush, "Of course not. We're just friends." "Okay, well tell me this, do you have any feelings for him?" She didn't say anything as she looked down at her tray, thinking about what Erasa asked her. Videl had to admit, that she thought Gohan was cute, when they first met, but that was it, at least that's what she thought...

"Aha! I knew it! So you do like him!" Said Erasa. "What are you talking about, I didn't say anything." "Yeah, but the fact that you were actually thinking about it proves it."

"Besides, I saw how you two were looking each other yesterday during p.e. Well, look Videl I'll tell you this. If you really do like Gohan, like I know you do, then you better do something about it because someone else might. He's a really nice guy that any girl would kill for, I know I sure would."

Sitting there thinking, Videl took account of what her best friend just said. ~ Maybe she's right...But do I like Gohan? He is such a sweet guy, unlike any one I've met, but even if I did like him, I'm not sure if he'd feel the same way... ~

Videl looked up to see that the boys had arrived. Catching her, looking at him, Gohan smiled. And she also, put on a faint smile.

Now that school was over for the day, Gohan and Videl found themselves at his home, so that Videl may learn how to master energy blasts. Of course when they got there, Gohan wasn't so comfortable with the idea, after what he had dreamed earlier. Seeing Gohan uneasy, Videl spoke with a reassuring smile, "C'mon Gohan. You don't have to worry. Nothing's gonna happen. I know it won't, okay." Gohan faintly smiled, at her.

Beginning the training, Gohan spoke, "Okay so first of to be able to throw strong energy blasts, you have to concentrate into putting more power into the ki ball you've summoned. So, just like I taught you, bring out your energy, but try to put more power into it."

Understanding, Videl nodded her head. Narrowing her eyes, in concentration she tried to summon her energy. A small wind passed by, as she slowly formed a ki blast in her hands, that slowly started to grow a bit more bigger. "You got it. Now try to throw that energy into the air." Raising her hands, Videl did as told and launched it in the air with a small yell. The blast went through the air for a few seconds before disappearing.

Videl let out a small laugh, seeing as though how easily she managed to get it. "Great job Videl. I'm really impressed. Your really getting the hang of controlling your energy. Not even we got this so easily." Said Gohan with a smile. Hearing that made her happy. "Thanks, but that tired me a little." "That's natural you feel like that. It takes power so of course you'll feel tired after wards." Said Gohan sitting down next to her.

Both of them stared at the sky as the clouds slowly moved by. Gohan turned to look at Videl. ~ She really is special. ~ He thought with a smile, as he once again felt that warm feeling inside of him whenever he thought of the young girl.

And so the days passed by as Gohan and Videl continued her training. And Gohan amazingly watched as Videl quickly started to master making stronger energy blasts. They were probably 5 times larger since she had started. Although they would still vanish after a couple of seconds, but it was still impressive.

"I guess that's enough training for today." "Yeah." Said Videl as she wiped a bit of sweat from her brow, sitting down.

Taking out a small bag that contained little bits of fruit, bread, and nuts, Gohan started to place them onto the ground. "What are you doing Gohan?" Asked Videl as she watched him with interest. "I'm just going to give some food to the wild animals nearby, I sometimes do that when I come here." "How do you know that there are animals nearby." "I can sense them. Each living thing has a unique energy signal that they give off."

Gohan motioned for her to stay quiet. Slowly small wildlife like, rabbits, squirrels, and birds started to approach cautiously as they began nibbling on the food. Videl watched with amazement at how the animals had come and how relaxing and tranquil it seemed. After they finished eating, the animals went back to their hiding places.

"Wow Gohan. Is there anything you can't do." Said Videl with a small chuckle. He smiled. "Well, I wouldn't be so sure about that."

"You guys know how the school dance is coming up right." Started Erasa at the lunch table. "Well seeing as only one of us at this table knows how to dance, I've signed us all up for dance classes!" "You did what!" Yelled Videl. "Erasa you know that I don't like dancing. It's not really my thing."

The yellow haired teen pulled her into a whisper, "I know that, but seeing as you're not doing anything to win Gohan over, I thought I'd do something about it since you won't do anything." Annoyed at her best friend's persistence Videl spoke, "How many times do I have to tell you, I don't like Gohan!" "Right just keep telling yourself that Videl." Said Erasa with a sly smile and wink.

"Why did you have to drag us all into this anyway Erasa." Asked Sharpener. "Exactly. There's no point to it." Said Videl. The teen just rolled her eyes. "Because! You guys never want to come to the dances and it's about to time we have some fun." Gohan spoke, "Aww c'mon guys, it might not be so bad. It does sound kinda fun." Erasa smiled brightly. "At least someone has a positive attitude." "I just hope I won't look stupid." "That's why were taking the classes, so no worries."

All of them then sat in silence thinking about how the dance may actually be. Erasa of course was excited because she wanted to get her best friend a boyfriend and this may be the perfect opportunity. After all Gohan was the perfect guy for her! And they looked cute together!

Sharpener was thinking that this could be a great chance to impress Videl. Meanwhile she herself was thinking that it was a waste of time, but being able to get closer to Gohan almost made her heart jump. ~ Could Erasa be right? Do I like Gohan? I really do care about him... ~ Thought Videl as she took a glance at the young saiyan who was lost in thought.

~ I've never danced before, but it could be fun. And being able to dance and have fun with Videl... ~ Thought Gohan. Once again thinking about her, he could feel his heart racing at the thought of being so close to the young girl.

A couple of hours later, it was the final class period.

Gohan was lying alone on the grass looking up into the blue sky pondering thoughts. And his thoughts were centered around a young blue eyed girl. Gohan was thinking back at how they had first met and them fighting crime together. Not to mention her stubbornness in finding out his secrets.

~ I thought for sure, she wouldn't want anything to do with me after telling her about my saiyan heritage and the dangers with it, but yet she stayed by me supporting me. She still treats me the same, with no fear whatsoever. ~ He thought with a smile.

"A lot on your mind?" Asked a familiar voice. Turning his head, Gohan saw that it was his long time friend from the future, Trunks. "Well kind of..." Said Gohan trying to hide his blush. He of course noticed, but didn't say anything.

Gohan considered Trunks like his big brother and decided to ask Trunks what he had been wondering for quite some time. He knew that if he asked the others they'd probably laugh and embarrass him or it would be just too awkward.

After a couple seconds, Gohan spoke, "Hey Trunks...how do you know when...you love someone?..." Asked the half saiyan, blushing.

Trunks hadn't been expecting that and remained silent. "...Well, when you love someone that person makes you feel happy and warm inside whenever your near them or thinking about them. Their relatively special to you, always bringing a smile to your face and making you feel comfort. The love you'd feel for that person would be as strong as the one for your family. And you'd be able to tell them anything and be willing to make sacrifices for that person."

~ So, then I guess it is true. All of this that I've been feeling inside, this warmness. I can't no longer deny or ignore it...I love Videl Satan. ~ Thought Gohan, finally admitting to himself the love he felt towards the girl.

Trunks smiled, seeing as though Gohan finally looked really happy then he had in a long time.

"So, then, do you mind telling me who it is that stole our little Gohan's heart?" Asked Trunks ruffling his hair a bit. Blushing, he spoke, "Well. Her name is Videl the daughter to that goofball Hercule Satan." Trunks was a bit surprised. "Wow. Well, that's kinda ironic. Falling for the girl who's father took credit for the defeat of Cell." Gohan nodded.

The bell then rang. Gohan stood up. "Well, I guess I'd better go change. And Trunks please don't tell any of our friends because I know they'll just keep embarrassing me if they knew." Trunks nodded and with a wave Gohan took off towards the locker rooms.

"Hehehe. That kid."

The following day.

"Alright guys, our first dance lesson will be today during third period so thank god we don't have to go to math." Said the ever so cheerful Erasa. "Well, at least there's a plus side to all this." Said Sharpener.

And so during third period all of them went to their first lesson. Much to their surprise it turned out Erasa was the instructor. "Erasa, your the instructor?" Asked Videl surprised. "Yup. No one is better suited for the job." She said with pride.

So, all of them enjoyed themselves as they tried to get the hang of it. They also had some pretty good laughs when Sharpener tripped over himself and fell flat first to the ground. "Hey Sharpener, are you alright?" Asked Erasa. "Of course I am!" He said embarrassed.

Turning around, Erasa smiled as she saw Videl and Gohan had gotten the hang of dancing easily enough. She walked over to them. "See, I told you guys you would be good at this. Not to mention you two look great together." "Erasa!" Said Videl harshly, trying not to get red, same with Gohan.

Opening her mouth, Erasa spoke, "Well I guess that's it for today guys."

She walked over to Videl. "So, Videl, how was it learning how to dance with Gohan?" She asked slyly. "It was fine." She said bluntly. Erasa smiled seeing as though Videl was starting to turn red.

The young raven haired girl had felt the same thing Gohan had. That warm tingling feeling inside of them, being so close to one another. ~ C'mon Videl, what's wrong with you. Every time I'm near Gohan, I start to feel so weird and warm. ~ She turned to look at him her face still, blushing.

He was walking with Sharpener, talking. ~ Gohan, he really is a sweet guy. He's so many things...Is it possible?...Could I...really be...in love with him? ~ Wondered Videl as she continued on walking.
